The past few weeks have seen the US-India relationship sink to its lowest point since India’s 1990s nuclear tests. Punishing tariffs, Washington’s growing warmth with Pakistan, and mistrust over trade have strained ties between the world’s two largest democracies. Despite bipartisan efforts since the Clinton era, mistrust lingers. Former US Ambassador Rich Verma noted in 2020 that America still does not consider India a “closest partner.”

President Donald Trump has long pushed to reduce trade barriers, citing issues like Harley-Davidson tariffs and revoking India’s GSP status in 2019. Meanwhile, India’s role in BRICS and talks of de-dollarization unsettle MAGA conservatives, fueling anxieties in US political circles.
